Spectacle Gallery - Sarasota, Florida

I never do this, but I have to let folks know that this company has no integrity and will not admit to being wrong. I was poorly measured twice for 3 pairs of glasses. It took 5 minutes from another optician to see that they had no idea of what they were doing. I offered to pay for the frames, but wanted reimbursement for the lenses. They said they would be happy to make me another (number 3) lenses again. After several months of this I chose to go Optical Services provided me with perfectly measured lenses. This has been a very expensive venture, and will warn Sarasota, find another provider.

I noticed the owner mentioned that I was asking for something free, which is untrue. Additionally, the claim that they "occasionally" need to make a second pair of lenses doesn’t reflect my experience—I was already on my third pair.

As someone in the healthcare field who takes pride in excellent customer service, I want to emphasize that I’ve never said a negative word about your team. In fact, they were very kind and clearly tried to help me.

This review isn’t about wanting something free or making assumptions; it’s about honesty, principles, and prioritizing the customer.

I visited Spectacle Gallery recently and had the pleasure of meeting Joel. He’s a wonderful Optician with a warm and welcoming personality. He helped me select the perfect pair of frames for my face shape and was able to place magnification lenses in my new frames within five minutes. The Spectacle Gallery is immaculate and has a vast selection of frames to suit every personality type. I also met with Dr. Kristin Doyle and Carolyn, Optician. The entire team at Spectacle Gallery is wonderful! If you value genuine, personalized customer service, I highly recommend you visit Spectacle Gallery for your next eye exam and frame purchase! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just had a great experience with Spectacle Gallery.
My 99 year old Mother needed glasses but is unable to travel.
Anna, who was helping me volunteered to go to my Mom's nursing home on her day off to take measurements. She did a great job and my Mom loves her new glasses.
Way above the call of duty! Many Thanks, Wayne

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this place and its marvelous staff. After having five pairs of eyeglasses made within six years, I finally have glasses that work for me! I have progressive lenses and some eye issues. They totally took time to listen to me and then provided me with the best glasses ever! They are about an hour from me and totally worth the drive. I'll never go anywhere else. Thanks to all of you!

Spectacle Gallery is excellent and has changed my life! The compliments I get on my frames are seemingly endless, giving me confidence bordering on arrogance. It’s also the same for my sunglasses! I wear them indoors, and when people ask, I say, “It’s always sunny when you're cool,” and then I tell them to head on down to Palm Avenue to see Doctor Doyle and her team of eyewear professionals. When it comes to your eyes, I say spare no expense, and spectacle eyewear is worth every single penny.

Anna and Carolyn are absolutely amazing. They are both professional and compassionate. I stopped in for a repair while on vacation. I was greeted and serviced in a timely manner.

Spectacle Gallery is definitely the place to go if you want personal, one-on-one service! We booked appointments with Joel (who's an Optician) and he not only sat down and listened to us but also picked out great frames we might never have considered. They also have a variety of sunglass tinting and even a portable lens option that snaps onto your real glasses. All in all, a VERY positive experience! Thanks Joel.

Great selection and phenomenal service! Dr. Doyle helped me find exactly what I needed. And when my glasses arrived, the extra touch that the Spectacle Gallery team put into the packaging, including a little hand-written note, was so elegant and thoughtful.
